Do Olympians pay tax on medals?
Only on Gold. Olympic gold medals are made up of about 4,000 dollars worth of gold, depending on the year. Seeing that gold is a form of currency (in the united states at least), they would be expected to pay the Gold Standard Tax, enacted in 1980 in order to keep gold as a viable currency in the United States. Luckily, the United States government pays its own athletes a larger sum, so there is never really a problem.
How much tax does olympic winner pay on gold medal?
That will be based on their total income for the year, as well as the country. The US Olympic committee pays an award bonus of $25,000 for a gold medal. That is taxable income. Someone like Michael Phelps with a huge income from endorsements is going to pay a higher tax rate than someone getting a single medal at their first Olympics. With no other income, a medal winner would probably pay less than $2,000 of it in taxes. Someone like Phelps could pay as much as 40%, but the reality is that a good tax accountant will take advantage of the appropriate methods of reducing taxes.
